Zuan - Fans and Flowers

Late 19th - early 20th century  handpainted  fabric design  or zuan.  34.5cm x 54 cm . This  is an original design for kimono  - or possibly obi - fabric  and features traditional fan, bird  and floral motifs.   Original zuan  were usually done on paper and often have pencil marks and notations - this one is painted  on a very fine silk  gauze and has no notations. The colours are still fresh and lovely.  Beautiful to frame.
